The ginger : the prebiotic drink of the microbiome

The gut microbiome controls 70% of immunity, influences mood, weight and the risk of chronic diseases. Ginger is a powerful natural prebiotic.

How ginger supports the microbiome

• Prebiotic effect — nourishes Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium (good bacteria)
• Selective antimicrobial — inhibits pathogenic bacteria without affecting the good ones
• Intestinal barrier — strengthens tight junctions (prevents leaky gut)
• SCFA production — promotes the production of short-chain fatty acids (butyrate)
• Anti-inflammatory — reduces intestinal inflammation which unbalances the flora

Curcumin and the microbiome

Curcumin favorably modifies the composition of the microbiome and has an effect anti-inflammatory directly on the intestinal mucosa.

Sugar destroys the microbiome

Sugar feeds pathogenic bacteria (Firmicutes) and candida, to the detriment of good bacteria. 34g sugar/100ml = massacre of your microbiome.

INTI — ginger + turmeric + black pepper, zero sugar. Prebiotic, not destructive to flora.
